In case you were wondering, the Thoroughbred hunter is not dead. These pictures are of a OTTB that showed in the hunters in San Antonio this past weekend. If you have deep pockets and want the most classically beautiful hunter I’ve seen in a while, he’s for sale. Someone buy him so I can read your blog about him. For now, I’ll just admire my pictures and hope I stumble on to one of these one day!
Today I’m happy to bring you a super cute, versatile OTTB… Skye! Skye is owned by Courtney, an awesome blog reader. 🙂 Let’s learn more about him! What is his registered name? Elsberry (Barn name Skye, showed as “Skye’s the Limit”). He got the name Skye because when we trailered him home from the sale barn there was a gorgeous sunset sky for most of the ride home. Lineage? Sire: That’s a Nice, Dam: Hugit Tuff (nothing famous) Did your OTTB…
Today’s OTTB Spotlight has one of my favorite blog names since it’s both her horse’s name and good advice for life … Keep it Low Key! She’s moving right now, and anyone who’s made a major move knows how stressful that can be with a horse. Hopefully this spotlight on her awesome OTTB, Loki, will bring a smile to her face. What is his registered name? Too Many Whyz (jockey club) Keep It Low Key (USEA) Barn name: Loki Lineage? You…
I admire blogger’s who puts controversial topics out there, because it’s something I do myself a lot.  I also respect the following blog, but I really disagree with the case against the OTTB from Sprinkler Bandit last week. Now before I write my rebuttal, I want to place a few caveats to the following. A) I have potentially the world’s safest OTTB.  I admit this.  I am no star rider, and Simon makes up for my flaws in so many ways….
It’s been a while since I’ve done an OTTB Spotlight, and I thought it was fitting to showcase Courage from SprinklerBandits since I got to be in her Ammy Hour feature recently 🙂 Plus, Courage is a super cool guy who’s progressing in leaps and bounds. What is his registered name? The Jockey Club knows him as Absolute Courage, which is pretty much the most kick ass show name since I don’t know, Man O’ War? Since the latter never showed,…
Should we just go ahead and re-name Saturday as OTTB Spotlight Saturday? Â Well at least for today, we are. Â Today I am featuring Bohemian from Eventing in Color. Â He’s a neat horse with a neat owner and a neat story… so enjoy! What is his registered name? Jockey Club name is Bohemian Spirit. I kept “Bohemian” as our show name for registration with USEA. He goes by Bohemian or Hemie at the barn. Lineage? Not impressive to my (admittedly ill-informed)…
All Thoroughbreds are cool, but it’s pretty much a fact that North Carolina and Texas Thoroughbreds are the coolest!  Okay… I may be a little biast there, but today’s awesome OTTB comes from my former NCSU Equestrian teammate Bette.  Meet her pretty mare, Marley 🙂 What is her registered name? Cool Marlene Lineage? Finn McCool x Mean Marlene (Citidancer)- She does have some fun names in her pedigree- Secretariat, Native Dancer, Northern Dancer, and Storm Cat- of course these are…
Time for our favorite off the track feature!  Even though Life of Riley is on a bit of a hiatus at the moment, her adorable OTTB still gets a feature today.  Let’s learn more about Riley 🙂 What is his registered name? Women No Easy, 2009 Chestnut Gelding. (I HAD to give him an Irish name since, I’m an irish citizen and he was foaled on St. Patrick’s Day!) Lineage? He’s an AP Indy Grandbaby, by Golden Missile out of…
